Maserati Ghibli Has Arrived In South Africa And Deliveries Are Underway

I recently attended the launch of the new Maserati Ghibli and although one or two of them have been delivered already, Maserati SA still needed to make things official with the South African media.

As it was a launch, I will keep things short and sweet and share the basic specs and pricing on the various models. I will be behind the wheel of the Ghibli in the very near future and will thus have a lot more to talk about then.

Ghibli Diesel

Although I have not heard the diesel model myself, Maserati are claiming that they got the sound equation right with what it calls the Active Sound system. It uses two sound actuators near the tail pipes to accentuate the engine’s “most distinctive tones.”

• V6 Turbodiesel
• 202kW and 600 Nm of torque
• 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds
• 6L/100km consumption
• First ever diesel Maserati
• Base Price: R1,370,000

Thanks to Marc Rudman Photography for coming along to the event and snapping these shots of the Ghibli S. The car looks fantastic in black and these wheels finish off the package superbly!
